I'd rather try to change the way the project handles this type of incident rather than spend my time working with another linux distro project at this time. Comparing Fedora to the worst organizations isn't doing its reputation any favors. Fedora sets a pretty high bar in many areas, and I would like the bar also set high for the project leadership being open with the community. The Fedora project seems to value many facets of openness (e.g. they did a lot of work a few releases ago to open up the build tools for the distro). So while I didn't find any obvious statements that the project has an explicit goal to work in an open and transparent manner, I think the impression that that is a goal of the project. The way the recent compromise was handled was not a good example of how a truly open project should have handled such an incident. It took a week before a statement was issued admitting a compromise. That should have been part of the very first announcement. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
